It appears that this July 4th holiday is going the way of all the others. When you can’t distribute a copy of the Declaration of Independence on the 4th of July for fear of offending someone, its time to show them the door.

Do they pledge allegiance just because its part of the job, or do they mean it with their hearts? Those in Iran (demonstrating for fair elections) are standing up. They are going to pay with their blood.
This should serve as a reminder that freedom is a constant fight.
I think we should start the fireworks display with the national anthem followed by Don Williams’ “Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good.”

The Declaration of Independence should be made available by concerned citizens. I am one of those and would be proud to hand it out. If we don’t recognize this day for what it is, it will soon be just Fireworks Day. Fireworks Day could be held on the 30th of June or even the 7th of July. The date will probably be on a Monday or Friday so that the people could get another paid day off. This is probably what they are really after …

God give us the strength to stand up, and be counted.

Bill Hoffrage,
Madera
